W. Travis Towe - Juvenile Defense

In Georgia, juvenile courts are very different from adult courts because of their unique rules and procedures. For example, juveniles are not entitled to a jury trial, but rather are tried before a judge. Penalties relating to juvenile offeses can vary. Depending on the severity of the offense, the juvenile may be placed in juvenile detention or have his/her case sent to adult court.

At W. Travis Towe LLC, we work hard to ensure that the legal rights of all minors are protected. We work extensively with your family to help you understand and repair the underlying problem, not just deal with the current criminal charges. We evaluate the circumstances of each case, keeping our clients' freedom as our first priority.

The juvenile system is based on the adult criminal justice system in that both systems are designed to protect society and hold accountable those who break the law. The main difference is that juvenile law takes into the account the theory that a child under the age of 18 inevitably makes mistakes and should not be punished like an adult. However, if minors are accused of certain types of serious crimes, youthful offenders may be charged and prosecuted as adults. If a juvenile commits a more violent offense such as murder, the prosecutor may seek to have the juvenile tried as an adult.
